It's 6:5 Murray v Ferrer, and 4 of Ferrer's wins were on clay and the other one at the WTF when Murray pulled out injured. Not that this is in any way relevant now.NJ knew going into this that the odds were very high he would win easily. He will be less sure about Murray given his recent performance. NJ has had an easy draw in this tournament - so far.

I have to be honest, in many ways it is the final I wanted. I like watching them play together, and it feels to me as if Andy has Novak's measure more and more. To me Novak saying he and Andy can't be friends says everything. He sees Andy as a threat now, which he should. Andy has beaten him in two of their last three meetings. Sure, they were both three set matches, but if Andy can string it together he will do it in a five set match.

Andy will be ready like never before, he will make sure of it, and so will Lendl and the team. I can't wait for the match.
